Fans can expect a night packed with unforgettable anthems. The setlist will feature TLC’s ‘No Scrubs,’ ‘Waterfalls,’ and ‘Creep,’ mixed with Salt-N-Pepa’s ‘Push It,’ ‘Shoop,’ and ‘Whatta Man,’ alongside En Vogue favorites like ‘My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It),’ ‘Free Your Mind,’ and ‘Don’t Let Go (Love).’ The producers are planning a ‘mixtape vibe’ similar to other major reunion tours, meaning no opening or closing acts. Instead, members come and go from the stage in breakneck speed, delivering one iconic song after another.
TLC member Rozonda ‘Chilli’ Thomas revealed their rigorous preparation plan. She stated, ‘Rehearsals are going to be all of July. We’re going to eat clean. We’re going to exercise and work out. We’re going to release eight hours a day, five days a week.’ The group is committed to delivering an unforgettable performance experience across all 32 cities.

Why This Tour Matters for Hip-Hop and R&B Culture
TLC revolutionized female representation in music across three decades, becoming the best-selling American girl group of all time. They won five Grammy Awards and sold over 85 million records globally. Salt-N-Pepa broke barriers as the first all-female rap group to earn platinum certification and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2025. En Vogue established themselves as one of the most successful vocal groups in modern music history, with more than 20 million records sold worldwide.
This tour celebrates decades of era-defining hits, culture-shifting influence, and timeless R&B and hip-hop anthems. The three groups represent ‘super girl power’ without competition, emphasizing sisterhood and empowerment. Their combined legacy has inspired generations of artists, from Beyoncé to Nicki Minaj to Cardi B. This historic co-headlining tour is being billed as one of the most anticipated tours of the year.
Will You Be Able to Secure Your Tickets Before They Sell Out?
Demand for this tour is already astronomical, with 129,000+ search results in just hours and massive social media engagement. Fans are advised to prepare for the March 24 presale, as VIP packages and premium seating will likely sell out quickly. The iHeartRadio Music Awards performance on March 26 will give fans a first live taste of the groups together, which could surge interest even further.
Early presale access is available to Citi cardmembers and American Express holders on March 24 from 10 AM to 10 PM local time. For those without presale access, mark your calendar for March 26 at 10 AM local time when general public sales launch on LiveNation.com. This promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience celebrating three decades of iconic music and female empowerment.
